New Camper Birdhouse for Pink Saturday 5/30/09

This is the little camper birdhouse I made in January and sold. I didn't want to sell it because I wasn't sure I could find another one since this was the only one they had at the time. But I did find a couple more and am making another one for OUR camper. It will NOT be for sale. But I thought I'd show you how it came together in case you might want to make one for yourself.

I finished this one the other day and it will definitely go into the camper that I've named the Rose Cottage Camper.




Garland and rose on top along with the name of the camper.

I started with a good sanding first and then painted some parts pink since they won't be covered with fabric.

Wheels will be covered with fabric though.

Some of the fabric might be lighter than others so the pink paint will help the wood to not show through.

  1. What a precious little trailer. it reminds me of one my Great- Grandmother had for years and years. It wasn't pink though. Just tiny and sweet, and crammed full of things. Happy Pink Saturday and I hope you are hanging in there, God Bless!

  4. Thank you for the tutorial Connie. I was on a blog the other day where sisters had a yearly outing with their little campers. I was in awe how everyone decorates them differently. Then I watched a show all about the teacup trailers. Your trailer is absolutely adorable.

    Happy Pink Saturday.

  9. With our little PINK SATURDAY having a birthday this week, I am on "pink overload" and that is difficult to do to me! I'm lovin' it like crazy!

    What lovely pinks this week you have, my dear. The better to see your through my rose colored glasses!☺

    Have a great weekend. Not all that warm up in my neck of the woods but the sun is out and that makes the day good. I hope you are surrounded by those you love and that you, too, are bathed in sunshine.

  21. I love your creations. I don't understand the lingo about exchanging links, but I would sure like to be on your list. I have you on mine. When I hit your blog I see and feel femininity personified. I love being a woman. Not a feminist, I love men and my man in particular, but I love feeling pretty and dainty.

    I am just getting to a computer and read about your son in law and I am sitting here with my eyes in tears and words failing me. Please know that you are all in my prayers.
